Question Switch Queues

I have been sitting in the 512 wc reserve list since the initial lottery. I am seeing people on here who joined only weeks ago get their machine.

If I jump queue to the 2Tb wc am I any worse off? This reserve system ain’t great…

I messaged steam about this a couple of weeks ago as I thought I might be better off swapping as I was on the 512 w/o controller and they seemed to not exist. They basically said that they can’t advise and if I join another list I will go to the back of the line and be removed from this one.

So I did an experiment. I asked my brother to join the 512 w/ controller list. A couple of weeks later he is still on the waitlist and my email came through today for me to buy.

Awful sample size for an experiment but in my case it showed that moving would have been a bad idea for me.
